I'm suprised people actually wanted to read this. Well, for all those who decide that this story is worth patiently waiting for, here's the next chapter:)

Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns the characters.

Annabeth woke up to the sound of soft thumping just outside her bedroom window. She knew that the school was well protected and no intruder would be able to get in without getting in huge trouble with the guards so she felt relatively safe. Even with that assurance, though, she took the bottle of pepper spray from her purse as a form of defense before opening the balcony doors.

At first, the saw nothing but treetops and a long distance view of the lake below. After a few minutes of assessment, she saw something through her peripherals. If it hadn't been for her quick wit, she would already have accidentally sprayed her unexpected visitor and she really wasn't sure how pepper spray would affect small kittens.

She sighed in relief before taking the small ball of soft black fur in her arms. The cat mewled playfully and snuggled to his new friend. Annabeth brought him in and placed her on her bed. "Hey there, kitty. What brings you here?"

The cat yawned in response, his bright green eyes trained onto her gray ones. "Do you have an owner?" She knew that the animal wouldn't be able to understand her but there was just some form of simple delight that comes with talking to adorable little things such as these. "Well, since it is nearing morning, I guess I should be getting ready anyways. How about I let you meet one of my friends?"

It took her a while to get used to her new-ish surroundings but she eventually ended up in the boys' dorms with a cat in her arms and the sunrise playing as her background. It was weird how she was allowed inside when boys couldn't even think of stepping foot in the opposite gender's territory. She was glad that their casual conversation last night had him mentioning what room number he was so she didn't have to ask the front desk.

She knocked on his door softly once she reached it, rubbing the cat's fur while she waited. There was shuffling inside, almost as if the residents had just woken from a blissful slumber. After all, it was just six in the morning. Classes don't start until ten o'clock.

The man who answered the door was tall and blonde, with broad shoulders and an impressive set of washboard abs. His electric blue eyes drew her in almost automatically but she managed to contain herself. His effect on hers wasn't nearly as great as his roommate's. "Oh, so you're the girl who has the Great Percy Jackson all smitten, huh? Can't say I'm surprised. You're a very pretty lady." His flirting was caught by deaf ears just because she caught a glimpse of her ideal man all shirtless and completely attractive.

He looked as if he had just woken up, wearing nothing but pajama bottoms and skin. His sea-green eyes brightened at the sight of her, casually pushing the blonde male out of the way just so that he could meet with her in person. "Get dressed, Jason. No one wants to see you shirtless." Percy teased with a laugh, earning him a smack on the arm for the remark. He didn't look as if the hit was painful but it would surely have broken the arm of any normal person.

Percy took in the sheer beauty of his visitor before noticing the ball of fur in her arms. He cooed happily at the adorable sight before holding the cat for himself. "Where'd you find him?" He asked as he stroked kitty behind his ear.

"He sort of found me, I guess. Woke me up an hour ago and I figured, why not show you?" He gestured for her to come inside and she was not at all surprised that his side of the room was reminiscent of what the ocean might look like underwater. "I haven't really thought of a name for him yet, though. Maybe you could think of one."

He pondered on it for a second whilst allowing their new pet to roam around. "Well, he looks like a Bob to me. Small Bob." He got her laughing genuinely at how completely ridiculous the name was. "Don't look at me like that!" He chuckled along with her, patting the seat beside him so that she could sit down properly.

"Okay, so maybe Bob…" "Small Bob", He corrected her. She nodded once with a smile, "…Small Bob is a pretty accurate name for our little friend. It's quite minimalistic and pretty gratifying when you say it."

Annabeth enjoyed days like this. She was happy and satisfied. She felt like the world has completely done her a favor and gave her something that no one else possibly could. Here she was, in the arms of a guy she's already completely in love with and they were just talking nonsense. She wished that there would be more days like this.

After a while of talking about everything and nothing, she finally decided to ask a question that has been bothering her for too long. "So what happens if we're good enough?"

"Well, we get a debut." He answered simply but, due to her confused expression, decided to elaborate a little more. "If the headmaster thinks that we've 'passed', he'll sign us. This isn't, after all, just as school. It's sort of a project of some big shot recording agency and they're looking for new clients. I'm not really interested in that. I'm here for the lessons."

"And if you do get signed? What will you do?" She asked this out of curiosity, just to see how he will react to the certain situation.

He shrugged, "I'll decline, say that it's not for me. I wanted to pursue music, not as a career but as a hobby, if that makes sense. I know that not many people get it, though. Everyone here's just dying to get signed and here I am, passing off the opportunity in a split second. I just feel that there's something else for me, you know."

Annabeth laced their fingers together, "I get you. I feel the exact same way. Music is amazing and everything but I don't want to rely on other people. If I get income, that's because I worked hard for it, not because I have a nice voice or stuff like that. It's just not how I work."

"The universe has such a weird way of putting people together." He breathed out and trapped her against the wall, his eyes darkening into a black abyss filled with passionate emotion. "Out of all the people I've met and talked to, you're the only one who… gets me. I don't know if this is weird or if I'm just moving too fast but I love you already, Annabeth. You're everything I am not. You complete me. You and I fit together so perfectly."

She kissed him again, her perfectly curled blonde hair partly covering her flushed face. "I love you, too, Percy."
